What Have You Done To Your 2nd Gen Tacoma Today?

Took off the 17" FJ Steelies and put on a set of TRD OR wheels I picked up. Threw on some 265/75/16 BFG ATs and just got done setting up my Thule T2 Classic. Hopefully get the windows tinted in the next couple weeks

 

Double broke it. Hit a massive sized pot hole (my wife says it was a sink hole I still think it was just A hellacious pot hole) and knocked the front end so hard I broke a uca (spc) and knocked my alignment out so far it wasn’t able to be driven more than a few miles with both front wheels cambered all the way in.

got that bandaged up and got home to find out I also snapped my rear passenger side ubolt clean in half. Luckily I had a set of spares because no one in f’n Knoxville carries 2.5” Wide square ubolts. Now I need new leafs or find a way to salvage my current leafs and get a u bolt flip kit that will work (modify) to fit my bags or sell the bags and buy new springs.

Whew glad that’s off my chest

 

Nice bike!

 

wtf kind of pothole was that?! Holy shit

 

IKR. It wasn’t near that bad as that pic but damn did it suck. It double sucked because we were coming home from our honeymoon lol.

 

That's my baby right there, she's up next with new rotors, pads and a bleed job. I'm hoping to make it through the summer without upgrading the cassette, chain and chain ring, we'll see.

 

How did you cut those pieces? Angle grinder with cutting wheel and just flap disk it to shape? Really clean lines. Your work has always been cool to look at.

That stance is stupid aggressive. Awesome work, that bumper really transforms the overall front end aesthetic!

Super jelly, ultra slick setup!

Looks like a great time!! Love your wheel color combo, reminds me of volk mag blue.

 

Thanks man! The ride up front is amazing but the bilsteins in the rear with the block need to go asap it rides awful compared to the kings. Saving up for a 12” shock relocation and other goodies

 

Nice! What relocation kit are you going with? I want to eventually do one too and am curious what kit everyone prefers.

 

Thanks, that’s really nice to hear. I wasn’t super happy with how it came out because I used an angle grinder and right angle die grinder with 2” sand paper disc to shape it.

the ideal way would have been jigsaw and sand paper to shape it but I couldn’t find my jigsaw in all the mess.

 

I don’t plan on getting 14” shocks so I’m sticking with the bamf kit. Never heard of an issue with it and the price is great

 

Thanks man! I really love the color too. Seemed like a good combo with the silver. I like to stand out.

 

Few days late with these mods. Installed a kenwood dnx696s and a CB. Super happy with both even though each install had their own pains in my ass. Now I just need to wash it

 

What brand rack is that? I'm looking for a new one and that looks nice.

 

thule t2 classic

 

Thats Badass! Im pulling out that plastic trim behind the back seats tomorrow. Thanks for the Motivation!

 

Wow thats disgusting to see people trash the mountains like that

 

Geez man. How fast were you going when you hit the pot hole to do all of that damaga?

 

Hey if it works then it works! Sometimes function > form. Regardless of all the methods I have tried with forming mild steel, they all take some heavy duty elbow grease. I love welding but realistically, it's 95% grinding and cutting

 

I got fuel for the first time in 52 days
